Greyfriars Charteris Centre is a converted, century-old Edinburgh church making a new base for social enterprises, charities and local groups with offices, meeting rooms, desk hire and event spaces.
Appointed as specialist joiners, this project was meticulously designed and developed in partnership with the Konishi Gaffney architects. Using a lovely combination of walnut and maple hardwood, we created a wide stair with ‘seating steps’ which connects the multi-level interior.
This is a great example of a collaborative approach between architect and maker to deliver a beautiful outcome.
